Talk Focuses on Rapid Rise of Artificial Intelligence

A pink and orange post-sunset sky, starting to show starts, is reflected in a tranquil lake where a sillouette of a woman sitting on a wooden dock can be seen in the forground.

Computer technology and artificial intelligence are the fastest evolvers in our society today. How are we to look at technology in today’s world?

A white woman with short brown hair and red metal glasses wearing a coral crocheted sweater over a white shirt smiles at the camera Sister Ilia Delio, OSF, addresses that question and more in her livestream presentation, Deep Artificial Intelligence (AI): Mind, Matter, and Planetary Life. Sister Ilia will explore the rapid rise of technology, the impact of techno-culture on human life, and the ideas of theologian Teilhard de Chardin on religion, technology, and evolution. The workshop, offered through Weber Retreat and Conference Center, is from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. EST on Monday, February 26, 2024.

A Franciscan Sister of Washington, DC, Sister Ilia focuses her writing and research on systematic-constructive theology, particularly the integration of science, religion, and culture.

The cost is $45, and registration is required to receive the livestream link. Registration is available here and may also be made by calling 517-266-4000 or emailing webercenter@adriandominicans.org. Limited scholarships are available.
